Ultima Online would be by far the greatest in my book. I have never played a game as long as it (almost 4 years). Wwith the original Diablo coming in second, and Battlefield 1942 in a distant third.

Lo Justy... tried Turrican with WinUAE? Man I've been playing that game ever since I learned of WinUAE's existence.

I even think I have a few versions of boulder dash for the c64 emu.

No I haven't. Sadly, Diablo 2 has occupied my spare time during the last 2 years. :(

VICE CITY for its fun factor and just the feeling of doing anything you want in a large environment

DIABLO 2 for its 2+ year addiction

BROOD WAR for its replayability and battle.net service

HALF-LIFE for its ability to just engulf someone in the pitiful life of gordan freeman.. as a 3dshooter

MAX PAYNE for the unique bullet-time and the great style of story-telling and narration

w00t w00t! :D
 
Here I go,


Gemstone 3, got me into the whole MMORPG thing in the first place, which brought me into my next favorite, one I loved so much:

Everquest, spent over a year on this, still have urges to go back, but I prevent myself from doing it.

Counter-Strike, dont have to go into detail

Diablo 2 and the expansion, again dont need the detail.

Unreal Tournament (god the days when I would play on my old school 8mb savage card that I used to play EQ with also, then my voodoo5 came when I was a noob and didnt know what to buy)

TFC... God TFC was so much friggin fun

Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne

Final Fantasy 7, ;)

Zelda 1, Zelda 3 (for snes) Zelda for gameboy (original one) and the first Zelda for N64, will be buying a gamecube this fall to play the new one along with metroid prime.

Just about all the platform marios that were popular, havent tried Sunshine, but I sure did love 64.

Vice City, need I say more?

And the others that pop into mide (cant think to well)
Doom 1 and 2, Warcraft 2, Civilization 2, Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2, all the Sonics for Genesis (excluding 3d) and Sonic Adventure.

I should just stop now.
 
Nethack was the first game I ever played. L.O.R.D. was a lot of fun too on the old BBS's. But the hands down winner for me is Quest for Glory 4. Something about that game... mmm... I love it :) I still think the graphics look awesome... back when all you had to work with was 320x200 it took some skill to make it look nice. And the game itself was just superb... dang I think I'll reinstall this weekend for old times sake :D
